Demolition of Embassy: Ghana Would Face Serious Consequences- House of Reps

The House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs has condemned the demolition of the Nigerian Embassy Staff quarters in Accra.

The Chairman, Yusuf Buba, in a statement on Monday, said Ghana would face the consequences of the action.

He said the demolition portrayed an infringement on the international Rights of Nigeria.

Ghana had come out to say that unknown men perpetrated the act and that it had no idea of who they were.

Buba noted that the demolition is a gross violation of all treaties on diplomatic pacts between the two countries.

He bemoaned that “no reprieve, we were told, came the way of the Nigerian diplomats. We further learnt that, even when the Police finally arrived at the scene, they could not do anything”.

The chairman condemned the act of “trespass”.

He stated that Ghana “violated many articles in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1949 and, therefore, must be sanctioned”.

Buba added that the Nigeria Mission in Accra constituted four hectares of land that was officially rendered to Nigeria by the Ghanaian government.

He further said the House of Reps would do everything under the law to re-examine the relationship with Ghana.

“We shall deploy all legislative means, including exploring and invoking tall necessary rules, regulations and instruments that guide our common membership in other parliaments, to compel Ghana to answer for this act of gross violation”, he vowed.
